Lizzie Little, born in 1999, is a Glasgow-based contemporary figurative artist who has gained recognition for her unique approach to art.

She is a graduate of Fine Art: Painting & Printmaking from The Glasgow School of Art, where she studied from 2017 to 2021. Drawing serves as Little’s primary artistic language, and her extensive studies of the human figure, expressive portraits, and detailed still lifes are explored and represented through intricate hatching techniques and rich, layered linear constructions.

Recently, Lizzie Little made a notable appearance on the 11th series of Sky Art’s Portrait Artist of the Year 2024, where she skillfully captured the likeness of musician and music producer Baaba Maal in her distinctive style, with Maal himself selecting her portrait from her heat.

In addition to this accolade, she has exhibited her work in various shows throughout Glasgow, including her solo exhibition titled People and Plates at Gusto & Relish, her participation as a featured artist at The Glasgow Art Club in 2025, and her involvement in The Scottish Prize for Fine Art in 2023.

Beyond her artistic endeavors, Lizzie Little is also a qualified Secondary Art and Design educator, where she specialises in the BGE Curriculum for Excellence, as well as teaching National 5 and Higher Art & Design and Photography courses.
